Hands down Spellbinders has the most creative and overall best design team in the market today.  This is why they received the number one spot on the list.   

Scrapbooks can be either generalised around ones happy memories, or more focalised to represent a specific theme or occasion. Some of the more popular themes include Halloween, Christmas, Birthdays, Graduation, Weddings, Christenings and Easter. Not only do scrapbooks serve as wonderful nostalgic memoirs, but they are also often made as gifts, which gives an extra personal touch.

How to start a scrapbook

You do not need a lot of materials to get started with scrapbooking. First of all, collect some photos, cut outs, pictures, charms or anything that you would like to put in your scrapbook. The next step is to find a sturdy notebook that will last for a long time and that is well-made. You do not want a poor quality book that will begin to break apart after a few months.

The die-cuts are usually seasonal shapes that are released a few months prior to the upcoming season.  So come Christmas, Quickutz will usually have a release in October with all their christmas shapes. When papercrafters think of alphabets, no one can beat their designs. With their new 4×8 alphabets, Quickutz has taken the ease of cutting out letters to a whole new height! Quickutz stands for quality and die-cutting innovation.  With the release of their new universal die-cutting machine the Epic Six, that cuts all their dies and other leading brand dies, it has brought them to a higher level of quality for 2009.  Quickutz Inc. has also joined with Lifestyle Crafts to bring back letterpress printing, making handmade stationery affordable and easy for the home crafter.  This is why Quickutz is in our number three spot.

Now you can begin assembling your scrapbook. Give your scrap book extra texture by adding dried flowers, buttons or beads for example. The fun part is that you don’t have to rush when you are scrapbooking, take your time, relax and enjoy it

Family tree scrapbooking has become a very popular pass time recently. It was also common many years ago and some people are in possession of old pictures and old family histories. Scrap books can serve many purposes and can be set up in a variety of ways. An avid genealogist might enjoy scrap booking a family tree.

If you are fortunate enough to come across old family albums and scrapbooks you may have a key to your tree. While you are at it you can scrapbook your own current tree and create an heirloom and key to your past for generations to come. A complete family tree scrapbook page will help you as you research your own tree. It gives an attractive visual to all the information that you find. The page will guide you to look for the information you do not yet have and give you a place to record it.

A family tree scrapbook might look like a line chart, as a typical genealogy layout. On the other hand it may have actual features like leaves and fruit and spaces for pictures of your family members. Several scrap booking websites are available that have layouts to download to your own computer and print on the paper of your choice.

Buffered paper
Buffered paper is created by paper manufacturers adding a buffering agent such as calcium carbonate or magnesium bicarbonate to neutralize contaminates. Buffered papers have a PH of 8.5.

PH level
Speaking of PH, the PH factor refers to the acidity of the paper. Acid free papers have a PH of 7 or above.

Archival Quality
Another term you’ll often see on scrapbook paper is “archival quality”. Archival quality is a term used to indicate paper that has undergone laboratory analysis to determine whether the acidic and buffered content is within safe levels.

Lastly, in order to make a substantial and one of a kind family scrapbook, choosing the right kind of materials will help a lot. Making sure that materials chosen are acid and lignen free will ensure that this family memorabilia will last longer. Also, make the scrapbook creative and come into life by decorating it with important embellishments that portray a personal touch to the whole material. What’s more, it may even spark significant memories for all who would be able to see it, making the material more special than ever before.
